Mutual interest / Olivia Wolfgang-Smith.

Summary:

"Vivian Lesperance moves to New York City at the turn of the 20th century with one goal in mind: she will not let her life be dictated by her small-minded family in Utica. Oscar Schmidt chooses the soap industry -- and a move from Ohio to New York -- in a doomed attempt to run away from his own attraction to men. But while working as a straight-laced middle manager by day and cruising the waterfront and gay clubs at night, Oscar faces dual threats to his new life. Vivian knows she'll never get what she wants in life without effort, so she convinces Oscar to marry her and then persuades Oscar and Squire to go into business together rather than fight for resources. Clancey & Schmidt Co is born, and with it, a new love affair begins: between Clancey and Schmidt themselves. Meanwhile, Vivian reaches the pinnacle of her power running the business behind a Tiffany's desk -- and behind the image of both men. But the threat of exposure -- and of an arranged marriage for Squire -- looms, and together, the trio must work to maintain the life they've dreamed up, and made real, for themselves." -- Adapted from publisher description.
